We are based in Gloucester but can post or arrange delivery for items, and it is not in the for sale section because my computer...

    Annoying electrical/lights issue....

    Have tried swapping the bulbs, they arent the problem. Re: bulb holders, would that be a likely cause since both side and main headlights dont work on that side? And they do work on main beam, just not dip beam, so would it be down to the holders....

When I put the headlights on in main beam they all work fine, both front side lights and hedlights. However, when I try to just put sidelights on, only the passenger...

    Annoying electrical/lights issue....

    Okay so traced the earth wire back to the bulkhead, cleaned up the connectors and around the earth, then reconnected it back how it was before I cleaned it, then it blew the fuse and none of the headlights work on that side at all (even after changing the fuse) but the indicators do still work...

    Serious Indicator/ Flasher unit problems!?!

    No it is actually a "110". Not a series vehicle, not yet a defender, something in between. They actually started being made as early as 1983 believe it or not, and were soon followed by the "90" (which actually had a 93 inch wheelbase) and the "127". By 1990 they were finally being called the...
